ao_specs
Purpose:
-
Process analog output specifications from a file, creating or updating variables and sending configurations to the system.
Enter:
-
ao_specs [analog_output_spec_file] [add]
Where:
-
analog_output_spec_file
Optional. Specify the analog output specification filename. The default is ao_specs.nnn based on cell name.
add
Optional unless analog_output_spec_file is specified. Specify a string to add specifications to existing ones.
Example:
-
ao_specs
The above command processes the file ao_specs.nnn for analog output at test cell nnn.ao_specs /specs/cell_ao add
The above command adds the ao specifications in the file /specs/cell_ao to the existing specifications in memory.
Notes:
-
Real variables in the specification file are created unless quoted, in which case they must exist.
Avoid overlapping hardware channels with control specifications and use errs to check for errors.
Channels can be added via PNP by modifying /specs/pnp/output_specs_pnp.
The ao_specs command processes the analog inputs within the specified analog outputs specification file.
